 ALBUQUERQUE, March 19.-The Du- rango Board of Trade and the Albuquer- que Board of Trade are now confsrring tor the purpose of building a railroad from Durango through the San Juan and San Luis valleys to this city. At the present all mail from this place to tie adjoining counties of Rio Arr.ba and San Juan Is as long in transit as the mail tol New York, although the distance as the crow flies, IS but about one hundred miles. But there being no road over the mountains the mail must go via Den- yer, and thence to Durango to reach it's des,ination. The new road. as project ed. will bs a nsrrOw-gauRe and probs- bly, be a part of the Rio Grsnde system. The principal reason for its early com pletiOn IS the well authenticated rumOr that the St. Louis and San Francisco road will be at once built to thIs city over the old Atlantic and Pacific survey, which not only provides better facilities for mail. but gives the people of pros porous San Juan county open markets both east and west.
